When you see the work of designer Lisa Marie Andersson you wouldn't be surprised with the amazing & creative home she created for herself. I just love every single thing about it, the vintage furniture, the ceramics, her origami pieces and the touches of green! I must say she made the best out of a relatively small apartment. Lisa Marie is the designer behind the paper and clothing label Up The Wooden Hills. On her blog you can follow her latest work and read about her personal inspiration. Check it out!

This is my fourth Urban Jungle Bloggers post and I'm very excited that I joined this cool green community a couple of months ago! It's a lot of fun to work on a different green theme every month and it's a good excuse to invest in some new plants every once in a while. I recently won the cutes book ever called "Me and my Plant" by the Dutch publisher "Snor" with the Give Away that Judith & Igor organized! How cool is that?!

This month's UJB theme is "Hanging Planters". With some Zpagetti cord & two baskets I made these hanging planters and hung them on a ladder that I placed between two beams on my attic. I bought a new hanging plant called Coral Breeze which is the big one on the right. I also used the Consol Solar Jar that I wrote about earlier. The result of this project is that I want these hanging planters on the ceiling in our living room now! To be continued....

We made a couple of changes at home so I thought it was time for a couple of Happy Home snapshots! I found a big round wicker rug on Marktplaats (my latest addiction) which is now in our living room. I was a little scared for the rug to be ripped to pieces by our cats but so far it's still in one piece! Upstairs we made a few changes as well. We gave our "dressing room" a make-over by removing the wallpaper & painting the walls. We sold our Ikea closet & replaced it with two vintage pieces! The rug I found online at Urban Outfitters. We are very happy with our new dressing room since we spend quite some time in there, especially in the morning getting ready...

During our shopping day in Arnhem, me and my sister discovered this cute & cosy cafe/restaurant called Iveau. In the morning we went in for a cup of coffee and some sweets & in the evening we had a delicious meal with fresh burgers and some good wine... I really liked the look and feel of this restaurant, very homely especially with the fireplace! Nice to know is that the food is made with pure & authentic products. Definitely worth a visit!

Last week me and my sister had some quality time. We had a spa day, did some shopping, visited a few thrift shops, enjoyed good food & of course a couple of wines! We had a good time! We spend one day in Arnhem where I was very impressed with the beautiful shop "Loft". This store is housed in a beautiful, light building where you can find a very nice collection of home accessories, clothing, jewelry, stationary & furniture! The first floor is even more impressive... Who wouldn't want to live here?! At Loft everything just fits! There are two more Loft stores in Zwolle and Apeldoorn. Definitely worth a visit when you're in one of these places!

It's time for my interpretation of this month's Urban Jungle Bloggers theme "Plants & Coffee"! I think it's such a cute & original theme that Igor & Judith came up with and I already saw a lot of beautiful pictures from other bloggers. Since I'm not a huge coffee fan, I did the "Plants & Tea" variation. I bought this floral tea at a little organic shop in Zutphen this week. It's smells amazing! I also needed some new plants because unfortunately a few at home didn't survive... But this was the perfect chance to combine the two! I hope you had a lovely Sunday as well!
